Hi All,

There are sound issues in the default package of SuperTux on Linux PPC. I was able to solve this issue with:

vi SuperTux-v0.5.1-Source/src/audio/ogg_sound_file.cpp:
The problem was, that this source code doesn't detect our BIG ENDIAN platform. I added int bigendian = 1; after #else and after compiling, the sound and music work without any problems.

I uploaded it for testing today. You can start it with ./run_game.sh.

Hi All,

If your system has hardware 3D acceleration support then you can use it with SuperTux. Please add --renderer opengl to the SuperTux command in the script run_game.sh. After that SuperTux works faster! I tested it with a Radeon HD4870 (AmigaOne X5000) and with a Radeon HD6870 (AmigaOne X1000) on ubuntu MATE 16.04.5 LTS and on the MATE PowerPC Remix 0.9.



Cheers,

BTW, SuperTux works also on Debian.

Hi All,

Great news!

Casey released the new SuperTux 0.6.0 for Fienix PowerPC today! You can install it with the package management system (APT, Synaptic .. etc).



Cheers,

You can also use OpenGL as renderer.

Please replace sdl with opengl20 in the file run_game.sh.
